Just a random thought.
Call me an old cynic?
What about the security of information?
Is it possible that some clever "old bean" could have all of your shoot information just for the taking?
The land owner might not be too chuffed either?
Personally I would certainly think twice and then not do it.

Why would BASC members be worried about BASC working with themto help map their shoots, so together we can collect biological data, but atthe same time use the same maps to give members site specific help and guidanceon shoot / habitat management?David

Do you think this information would be shared with others from the deer sector i know that RTA,s involving deer caused some concern as members of the DI teams went into the areas were the data showed most collisions and secured ground on a very well worded approach. Also most of the same data was given to DI who then shared it with SNH and the wheels go round. My take is unless there is a national data collection from all!! FAC holders then i would avoid it.

Not specifically knocking BASC but why would I give an outside organisation the key to my door?
Once data is out in the ether, it's not secure to my way of thinking?
Information is power!
Just think of the power someone would have if, as has happened before the information escaped or was leaked?
A guy with learning difficulties confounded the USA by gaining access to very sensitive security sites, or a mole was employed unknowingly for an Animal rights organisation, or an employee lost a disc on a train as happened before to the DSS?
I hope you are right David.
